I opened a window, but instead of throwing the op1 at it, I entered a search word at the top and it guided me to an instruction on how to start the game. Cheating, I know... _________________Antimon's Window@soundcloud@Flattrhome - you can't explain music

I should point out that that tune was played and mixed completely on the OP-1 - no computer or other instrument involved at all._________________Antimon's Window@soundcloud@Flattrhome - you can't explain music

Hm currently I'd have to say the OP-1, but I'm always enchanted by the latest stuff I've gotten. On iThings I mostly use Nanostudio (I don't find much use for the performance-oriented apps), and the harsher sounds in the OP-1 appeal more to me. The iPad works for feeding sound into the OP-1 or the Octatrack though, I'll probably do more of that at some point._________________Antimon's Window@soundcloud@Flattrhome - you can't explain music

There's a new OS out! New features include a filter, integration with Ableton Live (turn the OP-1 into a control surface), and some new LFOs that are targeted towards the crazy new cranks that you can buy from TE. They're also selling a thing for attaching Lego Mindstorm stuff to the rotary encoders!

I've tried out the filter, and does a fair job. It's one monophonic filter that works with the polyphonic mix from synths or drums. It has an envelope that triggers when you play notes.

I also tried out the control surface quickly. As usual, TE refuses to document the stuff they hand out, but it seems to do the job from what you'd expect, looking at OP-1. Note keys switch tracks, you can arm, ,mute etc, and the transport controls map onto Live's.

The introduction of the OP-1 accessories and a new OS update nearly coincides with my return from vacation in Geneva.

The plastic add-ons sound like low-cost, yet fun "enhancements" to the OP-1 hardware interface. A real case is a much-needed accessory - I bought my OP-1 used and its "environmentally-friendly" box has quite a bit of wear on it.

I notice on the Muff Wiggler forum, people are buying the accessories from AC Gears, whose prices are higher than the ones at the Teenage Engineering store, but they seem to be people who live in NYC and thus find it more convenient to pick up these new products at a physical store than wait for an order to arrive from TE.

I also notice the Accessory Super Kit at the TE store costs more than the total price of the accessories would be if bought separately. _________________Current and recent work on Soundcloud

I have always been more about function than appearance - whether a feature makes a product look "ugly" is irrelevant to me compared to whether the new feature will help me to achieve a desirable result.

Apologies to the person I'm stealing this quote from, which was posted to the MW forum:

Quote:

The knobs on the OP-1 are endless, so the "crank" can be used to turn a knob without stopping (as opposed to using your fingers, where you have to stop turning the knob for a short amount of time in order to turn back your hand and then continue to turn the knob).

Where is such a thing useful or desirable? In the video, they show that you can move the endless sequencer continuously by using the crank, but in a more or less steady way, having a similar effect as using a music box. Also, you'll be able to use the crank to move the tape continuously, while playing back or recording. You can then record at a more or less steady tape speed, having interesting results on the playback, for example. I think that it's a quite interesting feature.
